C5 Specifications |
T he C5 (Fifth Generation) Corvette was scheduled for
release in 1993, but internal problems with GM, productions delays, and financial problems
delayed it's introduction until January of 1997. The result is a Corvette most call the
best ever. The 1997 is the first totally new Corvette in history, even the 1953 used parts
intended for other automobiles. This Corvette has a totally new frame, engine, and rear
mounted transmission (a Corvette first). This combination provides near equal weight
distribution (51.4/48.6) with the automatic transmission. Wheel size is 17 x 8.5 front,
and 18 x 9.5 rear. Top speed is 172 MPH
